Chapter 352 You Don't Want To Either
Huo Huaisui was quite happy that Xie Qinglan no longer had to leave, at least he wouldn't have to engage in "online dating" anymore.
Huo Huaisui didn't ask Xie Qinglan what her future plans were, because even if she did, she might not understand.
The top student is very smart and will always have her own plans; it doesn't matter whether she asks or not.
Huo Huaisui didn't ask, but Xie Qinglan did: "Have you found a shop?"
One wonderful thing after another happened today, and Huo Huai Sui said happily, "Found it."
Xie Qinglan raised her hand to ruffle her hair, then suddenly picked her up.
Huo Huaisui: "?"
Xie Qinglan: "It's getting late, take a shower and rest."
"..." Why did you hug me while you were taking a shower?
-
Ji Xueru was a woman of action; the next day at noon, she arranged to meet Yu Ran and Huo Xiao.
They originally wanted to meet in the evening, but Huo Xiao had to go on a business trip in the afternoon and wouldn't be back for at least four or five days. Ji Xueru couldn't wait that long, so she simply arranged to meet at noon.
In addition to the elders of both sides and the parties involved, Huo Huai'an also came.
While waiting for the food to be served, the four elders chatted about their own things, and with Ji Xueru there, there was never a dull moment.
As for the younger generation, Huo Huai Sui didn't let her brother off the hook either.
"What are you doing here?" Huo Huai Sui asked her brother in a low voice.
Huo Huai'an: "Come and sign for my 300 million."
"..." Huo Huai Sui wanted to kick her brother out of the private room. "Can't you stop embarrassing yourself? Do you really need those three hundred million?"
Huo Huai'an countered with a question: "You would complain about having too much money?"
Huo Huai Sui couldn't refute this.
She might complain about many things, but she would never complain about having too much money.
The brother and sister were speaking quite loudly, and Xie Qinglan, who was sitting on the other side of Huo Huaisui, naturally heard them.
Xie Qinglan could certainly afford three hundred million.
He didn't just save the pocket money Ji Xuesong gave him over the years; he invested it all, making a lot of money from it. He was able to afford the dowry himself.
Huo Huaisui noticed Xie Qinglan looking at him and quickly said, "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense."
Huo Huai'an scoffed, "She's not even married yet, and she's already siding with outsiders."
Huo Huai Sui, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him under the table.
Xie Qinglan poured a glass of juice and placed it in front of Huo Huaisui. "Calm down, we won't stoop to the level of a single person."
Huo Huai Sui withdrew her foot and snorted at her brother: "Single dog!"
Huo Huai'an: "..." Two against one, how shameless.
Just as Huo Huai'an was about to speak, he suddenly heard Xie Qinglan say, "No need for all that trouble, let's just get married."
The elders, who were discussing getting engaged first, were speechless.
Huo Huaisui: "?"
Huo Huai'an: "..."
The four elders, along with Huo Huai'an, turned their heads almost simultaneously, first looking at Xie Qinglan who was speaking, and then their gazes fell on Huo Huaisui.
Finally, their gazes shifted downwards, all falling on Huo Huai Sui's stomach.
"Smack—"
Ji Xueru dropped the chopsticks in her hand.
Huo Huai'an's face turned pale and then red, and his eyes looked like he wanted to devour Xie Qinglan whole.
The private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Huo Huaisui looked completely bewildered.
Xie Qinglan put down her juice with a dark expression. "It's not what you think."
Ji Xueru muttered under her breath, "Isn't it what we think?"
Huo Huai'an retorted angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry!"
Seeing their suspicious yet accusatory gazes, Xie Qinglan knew that saying anything more would be useless, so she simply shut her mouth and stopped explaining.
Huo Huai Sui then realized why they were looking at her, and her little face instantly turned bright red.
Well, she really isn't pregnant, and she's not planning on getting married because of a pregnancy.
She's still a virgin!
In the midst of a deathly silence, Yu Ran, who always disliked trouble and preferred to keep things as simple as possible, spoke up: "Then let's get married."
Huo Xiao naturally agreed to whatever his ex-wife said, "The two children are not young anymore, so we can just get our marriage certificate and have a wedding banquet."
Seeing that their future in-laws not only didn't make things difficult for their son, but were also so easy to talk to, Ji Xueru and Xie Chaolang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were getting married directly, Ji Xueru and Xie Chaolang had no intention of mistreating Huo Huaisui. He would have everything he needed, and in fact, more.
The two sets of parents skipped the engagement topic and started discussing wedding arrangements.
Huo Huai'an glared menacingly at Xie Qinglan, looking as if he was ready to make Xie Qinglan walk out of there sideways.
Xie Qinglan was both innocent and wronged.
He did a lot of unnecessary things, but he didn't do the most unnecessary one.
But unfortunately, he couldn't explain it.
The elders are all here. What if Huo Huai'an blurts out, "You're not good enough"? Wouldn't he lose all his dignity?
In the end, it was Yu Ran who pulled the people away before a real fight broke out.
Huo Huai Sui watched as he, his parents, and his brother got into the car, and then stared blankly into the distance as the car disappeared into the traffic.
Xie Qinglan asked, "Should we go straight back, or go for a walk somewhere else?"
Huo Huai Sui turned to Xie Qing Lan and asked, "Do you really want to get married?"
Xie Qinglan was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"
Huo Huaisui remained silent.
She just felt that she and he were not yet at the point of getting married.
It's not that the relationship is bad, it's just that it feels a bit lacking.
She couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Xie Qinglan: "You don't want to?"
Huo Huaisui truthfully replied, "I don't really want to."
If she had known that this lunch was to discuss marriage, she wouldn't have come at all.
Xie Qinglan paused for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
Huo Huaisui met his gaze and said with certainty, "You don't want to either."
